in the first experiment, the chemical composition, apparent metabolizable energy (ame), ame corrected for nitrogen (amen), true metabolizable energy (tme), tme corrected for nitrogen (tmen) values of the sweet almond meal were determined in adult leghorn cockerels. the second experiment was performed to evaluate the effects of different levels of sweet almond meal at 0, 100, 200 and 300 g/kg on...

Amygdalin is a cyanogenic diglucoside and constitutes the bitter component in bitter almond (Prunus dulcis). Amygdalin concentration increases in the course of fruit formation. The monoglucoside prunasin is the precursor of amygdalin. Prunasin may be degraded to hydrogen cyanide, glucose, and benzaldehyde by the action of the β-glucosidase prunasin hydrolase (PH) and mandelonitirile lyase or be...

BACKGROUND Viola odorata L. belongs to Violaceae family and is native to Iran. It is used in the form of Almond-Violet oil in traditional Persian medicine (TPM) since ancient times. Almond-Violet oil was used for the treatment of insomnia, headache, cough, and fever based on TPM textbooks. There are two methods for the preparation of Almond-Violet oil. The first is macerating voila flowers in s...

BACKGROUND Nut consumption may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The aim of the current study was to measure the acute and second-meal effects of morning almond consumption and determine the contribution of different nut fractions. METHODS Fourteen impaired glucose tolerant (IGT) adults participated in a randomized, 5-arm, crossover design study where whole almonds (WA), almond b...

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an eight-week combined exercise training program with sweet almond supplementation on plasma levels of leptin and orexin in overweight women. Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental study. The statistical population consisted of 60 overweight women with a body mass index (BMI) of 25-30 kg/m2 who were randomly divided...

Almond and sweet cherry are two economically important species of the Prunus genus. They both produce the cyanogenic glucosides prunasin and amygdalin. As part of a two-component defense system, prunasin and amygdalin release toxic hydrogen cyanide upon cell disruption. In this study, we investigated the potential role within prunasin and amygdalin and some of its derivatives in endodormancy re...

in order to comparing influence of ten vegetable oils for optimizing clodinafop-propargyl efficacy, a greenhouse experiment of dose-response including 0, 8, 16, 32, 48, and 64 g a.i. ha-1 of clodinafop-propargyl at eleven level of without vegetable oil and with vegetable oils of sunflower, soybean, canola, turnip, cotton, sesame, bitter almond, sweet almond, castor and olive in control of littl...

Prunus is an economically important genus with a wide range of physiological and biological variability. Using the peach genome as a reference, sequencing reads from four almond accessions and one sweet cherry cultivar were used for comparative analysis of these three Prunus species. Reference mapping enabled the identification of many biological relevant polymorphisms within the individuals. E...

in order to compare the impact of vegetable oils to improve the efficacy of mesosulfuron-methyl + iodososulfuron - methyl + mefenpyr (atlantis)®, a greenhouse experiment of dose-response as factorial experiment in a completely randomized design including concentration 0, 3/75, 7/5, 15, 22/5, and second factor 30 g a.i. ha-1 of atlantis at 13 levels of with and without vegetable oils (each of tw...
